I think that GM should rent the 7.5 mile oval track in Ohio, and then let C7 driver's unleash their cars.
Won't happen but sure nice to dream about driving 190-200 MPH without loosing your drivers license.

Here is another pic for all you nonbelievers. It was taken moments before the run. It was on a VERY desolate highway in Idaho. Living in the non-populated West has its advantages. If I had not had the camera phone in my right hand I could have grabbed 5th gear and pull to 160mph+. Maybe I should run a video up to top speed and post that. My mom would not be impressed though...

Did you look up and smile at the NSA satellite leased by the Idaho Highway Patrol ???

That's pretty cool. Did you upshift and go for more? I see nothing wrong with driving that fast in a desolated area where you are only posing danger to yourself.

The level of jealousy I am feeling right now is gargantuan, seeing the highway you have available to you. I live in New York, right by the city btw…….
Get a Gopro or something and mount it so you don't have to hold anything. I want to see a C7 acceleration video on youtube of the acceleration from 0 to whatever crazy speed. The Z06 has one, I think the ZR1 has one also.

I'd just like to chime in with a small suggestion for anyone doing this stuff - have a passenger take the photo so you can keep both hands on the wheel.
(obviously I should have suggested not to do it in the first place but we all know people will anyway so...)

Of course, another way is to record the speed using a GPS and then take a pic of the Garmin in your living room.

The speed is not my interest, it's the RPM'S. Will a new LT1 hold up under high extended rpm's or will it cause the new design small block to start using or blowing oil. Op, please answer, or someone, answer my question about the amp gauge reading, why is it so low??? Why are the volts / amps being pulled down by high rpm's ??? You must admit, this new c7 is a learning experience for us all......
